Rust free car to start with. Restored about 4 years ago and done extremely well. The original red oxide finish on the bottom of the car. All new brake and fuel lines. All new weather stripping, base clear paint, decals, wiring, carpet, seat covers, headliner, brakes, etc. Motor and transmission rebuilt along with the factory rear axle to factory specs. There is probably 3k for miles on the car since restored. Always indoors, covered and in a dry climate.
